Sent you a write up on Nascimento, just solidifies that pick for me.

This isn't my writeup but this guy always provides pretty good perspectives.

This is really a High Pedigree Grappler vs. an Average Striker with power. Mayes is a bigger lumbering striker, but he really is just a raw fighter with power. When you have power, you can be an equalizer but he still hasn’t learned out how to really use his range and distance. So what do you do when you really don’t have much to rely on? You come out hot in the hopes to get things done early. With that said at his size, you also tend to gas out. Nascimento is the far better grappler here. At 7-0, he has 5 by way of submission. He is going to have to weather the early storm here by Mayes and if he can do that coming out of round 1, He should be able to get this thing to the ground and start having his way there. There is a clear cut path for both men. Stay Standing and Mayes should take this home and if it hits the ground Mascimento may be walking out with a limb. I will take Nascimento here but both men are extremely Raw in their MMA careers, so I am not surprised whoever comes out the victor.

The Pick: Nascimento

I'll take the win, but I didn't see Song winning that fight.
